The race is on in California for initiatives to legalize weed in 2014:

As the L.A. Weekly reports Thursday: “Two initiatives that would fully legalize marijuana were approved for signature gathering ("circulation"), the California Secretary of State's office announced this week.

“A would-be initiative by Americans for Policy Reform, backed by San Jose pot shop operator Dave Hodges, got the green light from the state to start gathering signatures. Also approved was a proposal from the Drug Policy Alliance. A third legalization submission got the thumbs up from the state way back in fall. A new, fourth player, the Cannabis Policy Reform Act of 2014, had yet to be approved for circulation.”
